Summer Camp

COMMUNITY HELPERS: Such an important topic to bring home to children for a lot of reasons such as safety, thoughtfulness, and understanding of the way the world works.
Children up to the age of 7 can join our camp and get the chance this summer to meet community helpers in a safe and fun environment before being asked to trust them in an emergency. When we think like a young child, we realize how alarming an unusual uniform or vehicle might be perceived.

By participating in dramatic play with costumes and acting out behaviors of community helpers, children develop important social/emotional skills and are more comfortable with uniforms. It’s comforting for children to learn there are strangers outside of their family who have a concern for their safety and well-being and to understand who they can trust. The children will also learn about building a community through collaboration.

During the 9 weeks of camp, we will be visiting some of the community helpers workplaces, such as the post office, the fire station, the clinic…. We will also go on a field trip to Kidzania!
Football, tennis, Zumba and martial art classes will be also taking place on a weekly basis.
